Connecting Pa800 to a Master keyboard

Connecting Pa800 to a Master keyboard
You can control the Pa800 with a master keyboard or any other
MIDI keyboard. You only need to connect the MIDI OUT con-
nector of the master keyboard to the MIDI IN connector of the
Pa800. The master keyboard will become the integrated key-
board of the Pa800 if it transmits over the same channel pro-
grammed as Global in the Pa800.
If the master keyboard transmits over the Global channel of the
Pa800, the split point and the status of the KEYBOARD MODE
section in the control panel will affect the notes received from
the master keyboard.
Connections and settings
To connect the master keyboard to the Pa800 follow this proce-
dure:
1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the master keyboard
to the MIDI IN connector of the Pa800.
2. Program the master keyboard to transmit over the Global
channel of the Pa800 (see "MIDI: MIDI In Channels" on
page 214).
For information on the master keyboard programming, see
the master keyboard own user's manual.
3. Select the MIDI Setup parameter. You can do this by going
to the "MIDI: MIDI Setup / General Controls" page of the
Global mode, or in the dedicated page of the Style Play,
Song Play or Sequencer mode (see "Midi Setup" on
page 104, "Midi Setup" on page 169, and "Midi Setup" on
page 202).
Note: A different MIDI Setup may be selected for the Style
Play, Song Play and Sequencer modes. The "1-Default" MIDI
Setup is automatically selected when entering the Sound Edit
mode. MIDI settings are therefore modified when switching to
a different operating mode. The current MIDI Setup is also
shown in the Global mode.

4. Select the "Master Keyboard" MIDI Setup.
Note: Settings may change when new Global data is loaded
from disk. To protect settings from loading, use the Global
Protect function (see "Global Protect" on page 246).
5. To save the assigned MIDI Setup for the selected operative
mode into the Global, select the "Write Global-Style
Setup", the "Write Global-Song Play Setup", the "Write
Global-Seq. Setup", or the "Write Global-Global Setup"
command from the page menu.
6. If needed, press one of the buttons in the MODE section to
go to the desired operative mode.
Connecting the Pa800 to a MIDI
accordion
There are various types of MIDI accordions, each one requiring
different MIDI settings. Pa800 is provided with a series of
"Accordion" MIDI Setups, each one suitable for a different MIDI
accordion (see page 213).
Connection and settings
To connect the accordion to the Pa800 follow this procedure:
1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the accordion to the
MIDI IN connector of the Pa800.
2. Select the MIDI Setup parameter. You can do this by going
to the "MIDI: MIDI Setup / General Controls" page of the
Global mode, or in the dedicated page of the Style Play,
Song Play or Sequencer mode (see "Midi Setup" on
page 104 and "Midi Setup" on page 169).
Note: A different MIDI Setup may be selected for the Style
Play, Song Play and Sequencer modes. The "1-Default" MIDI
Setup is automatically selected when entering the Sound Edit
mode. MIDI settings are therefore modified when switching to
a different operating mode. The current MIDI Setup is also
shown in the Global mode.
